REMOVABLE PANEL SKIRT

INTRODUCTION:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY before proceeding with the SKIRT installation.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

1. With soaking tub or whirlpool in place, measure

from the bottom of the tub lip to the finished floor

surface (see Illustration A). Subtract 1/8” from this

dimension for clearance. This adjusted dimension

will be used to determine the proper SKIRT height

for your installation.

2. Lay SKIRT face-up on flat surface. Hook tape

measure on stepped edge of SKIRT near top and

mark the adjusted dimension (identified in Step 1)

near the bottom edge of SKIRT (see Illustration B).

Repeat this several times across length of the

SKIRT. Draw a straight line at the marks on SKIRT.

This will be your cut line to custom fit the SKIRT to

your installation.

3. SKIRT can now be trimmed to the proper height by

using a circular saw, jig saw or table saw with a

medium toothed blade. To prevent scratching of the

acrylic surface, tape over area to be cut. Cut at a

slow cutting speed and from acrylic side to prevent

chipping the acrylic.

4. Insert the lip of trimmed SKIRT up under tub edge;

between the wooden blocks and the front tub lip (see

Illustration C on back). Note: skirt corners have

been notched to facilitate installation. Check to see

that you have cut the SKIRT to the proper height.

Remove SKIRT.
